The Casdagli Brothers of the Sabre Vater line honors Field Marshal Joseph Radetzky von Radetz, a legendary Austrian military leader known for his strategic brilliance and leadership during the decisive Battle of Leipzig in 1813. Affectionately called “Vater” (Father) by his soldiers, Radetzky’s lasting influence on military history is celebrated in this exceptional cigar, crafted to reflect his bold and commanding legacy.
The Figurado vitola offers an elegant yet powerful experience, embodying the grandeur of Radetzky’s military prowess. This vitola perfectly balances refinement with strength, making it a true homage to one of Austria’s greatest figures.

Conclusion:
I am a big fan of Casdagli and the blends, the stories, and marketing for their cigars, so this was a highly anticipated review. Unfortunately it left me wanting more. The blend was not bad, but to me didn’t have too much going on. Notes mainly of Oak, espresso, and chocolate throughout. The final third saved this one from a one and done for me, as the dark chocolate ramped up and was quite tasty, but the first two third left me wanting more complexity. I’d like to revisit this one again. Overall score of an 86.
Result: 86
